I've heard of some states having Anime Network for their cable provider. Any plans for DISH to add this? I'm pretty sure directv has it. I'm dyeing for a 24/7 anime network.

DirecTV does NOT have the Anime Network currently, but I'm betting that both DirecTV and Dish Network are negotiating for it.
If I am going to waste my time watching cartoons, it better be a good one like south park, it at least has some good cuss words in it.
Who said anime doesn't have cuss words.
America is one of the leading countrys in the movie industry
Japan uses cartoon characters to associate with their culture. Cartoons aren't just for kids, some of their cartoons are very violent, have plenty of cussing and deal with reallife situations and are drawn much like reallife. It's just a stereotype that all anime is like pokemon and DBZ but there is a lot of good anime out there and cartoon network has a policy which has them "English dub" what the characters say which have rediculous voicing and they are required to cut much of the violence or blood etc. It's rediculous which is why I'm hoping the anime network will be on dish because I'm tired of the crappy dubs and editing through cartoon network.

Can't forget Elfen Lied. The way the characters are drawn completely makes people underrate the film but theres a reason they drew it that way. It was one of the goriest and sickest anime out there but it's very disturbing to see a cutely drawn cartoon girl being ripped apart and all that. Anime is a way of life for the Japanese culture although I wouldn't go so far to stereotype and say ALL japanese watch it, infact many hate it just as much as a lot of Americans do. I think Manga is much more popular but back on topic, does anyone know if there has been ANY mention of this on DISH?

some people would say that about sports channels and shopping channels.
to each his own, I'd rather have an anime channel than another espn or stuff tv.
of course if they did add an anime channel, then I'd have a hard drive space problem on my dvr.

Not a big anime fan (just haven't seen much, but I know what it is), but I can answer your question some.
I just switched from Dish to Comcast and noticed that in my On Demand menu there is an Anime channel, I briefly FF'dd through an episode (Happy ?something?) just to get an idea. Definately not for kids.
I'll check to see if there is an actual channel listing for Anime, rather than just On Demand when I get home.
BTW: I'm really liking the Motorola 9412 HD/Two-Tuner DVR from Comcast. A little buggy sometimes, but definately nice.

TimeWarner has it and is one of the reasons I recently switched. They have it OnDemand. I kinda wish they would just get the regular channel sometimes due to them not changing out the shows fast enough but all in all it is really nice.
This channel was one of my largest factors for leaving to go to cable that and the free HD DVR.
Though Charlie and some other old FOGIE's out there don't think it is valuable content wise I think it is pretty safe to say that there is a large section of the young male population that would have an intrest in that channel.
